About Kris Hebert
My husband and I love the water. I often kayak from the front of the house around the island. We currently live in Tallahassee, Florida and have a dog that travels with us. The picture above is a deep sea fishing trip last year.
Why Kris Hebert chose Florida North Central
After looking for years, we found this little cottage sitting in the trees. We immediately feel in love and have been down here for 10 years. The neighbors are wonderful and some live here year around.
What makes this house unique
Our property is ocean front. You can launch a boat off our beach at high tides. In the mornings you will see the sunrise over the lighthouse while the dolphins play in the front. You can sit on the deck and watch the unlimited number of birds hunt. You can also walk along the beach at low tide to collect shells and dinner. Fish right out front for redfish, cobia and mullet. Overall, a wonderful beach experience!

Unique, charming , rustic, fantastic view, private
Could not have been happier with our choice. Exceeded our expectations. Owner was very accessible and very helpful. This is a quirky Old Florida cottage and not to be confused with the destination area such as Destin. This is for the nature lover and be sure to bring your camera. Recommended
Wonderful and relaxing getaway
The property is very nice and secluded . Great and beautiful water front views. The house itself was rustic and comfortable. Everything was neat and clean. The king bed was extremely comfortable. The house is a drive from conviences and local beaches with most things being 15-20 minutes away . Unable to access water from house as there was no dock and lots of mud but I'm sure people who kyack or canoe could do so if they wanted. Great choice for couple who want to sit back relax and watch nature and the beautiful sunsets.
Stop the world i want to get off.....Here.
Great place to get away. Pack lite, you don't need alot. Great kitchen, plenty of cookware, plates and utensils. Green Egg grill doesn't need much charcoal and hard to overcook on. Direct TV with movie channels. Screened outside porch with fan is good for breakfast looking at wildlife and dolphins. Have a kayak, bring it. Keep under shelter, short drag to open water. Close to St. Marks, outzs 2 oyster bar with lots of Harleys ridden by friendly people and other stores close by. Fun place.
Relaxing, quiet, nature-filled retreat
My husband and I stayed at The Inkwell for four days. We really enjoyed our time together there.
Pros: quiet location, amazing ocean view from two directions, dolphins viewed several times from the house, surrounded by trees and birds, nice washer/dryer, comfy bed, big bedroom, equipped kitchen, nice tv's, fun decor, great place to relax
Possible Cons: be aware that this is a remote location (drive 30 minutes for food), numerous bugs (and crabs) prevented us from spending much time outside the screened porch or venturing down into the water near the house, no docks, only sheer curtains in the bedroom mean that ocean sunrises may wake you up early, carpet and bathrooms could use updating... None of these were a big deal for us, and we had a wonderful time there.
Looks great from pictures. Not what we were expecting.
Would have been better if not so many bugs & would have a pier to walk out on like the other houses around there have. To far away from EVERYTHING ! Would suggest to older couples not something I would take kids to. Thanks for letting us stay.
Fun stay with panoramic ocean view
We enjoyed the house, its size to its location. Right on the water, the house and its layout were great. We enjoyed exploring the area: Wakulla Springs, Apalachicola, and St. George, but it was always great to come home and view the ocean and birds from the screened porch and living room.
